Summer Concert 2024
On Thursday 4th July – memorable for more than just the music – we held our final concert of the academic year. 70 students performed to a packed Big School to celebrate the musical achievements of the year. Very early into the programme I was concerned that the concert might not end until mid-night but with shorter items in the second part my worries soon passed.
The concert commenced with the impressive senior guitar ensemble which filled the stage and was led by Mr. Knight. The other ensembles performing were Lower School Woodwind Ensemble, Upper School Woodwind Ensemble, Lower School Choir, KEVI HGS Jazz Ensemble, String Ensemble, Guitar Sextet and KEVI HGS Orchestra. We enjoyed solo performances from Daniel Earle, Abel Shaine, Rajan Dhuphar, Ziona Paulson, Joshua Holdsworth, Alvin Chan, Maximus Rueff, Ritchie Rogers, Teghbir Singh, Enzo Lee, Hrithik Bansal, Jaswanth Panathala Venkata, Nicholas da Silva Xavier Woods, Daniel Alloh Mikael Mahmood, Arjun Dev Bagha, Sebastian Fernando and Amitoj Saggu.
This was the final concert for Daniel Earle and Max Rueff, both of whom have regularly contributed to the musical life of the school since joining us. Max is off to university in September and Daniel heads to Stourbridge for A-levels. On behalf of the department, we wish them well in the next stage of their education.
Thank you to all the staff and students that made this wonderful event happen with relative ease. We look forward to seeing you at our concerts next academic year.
